I really enjoyed watching Curling in the Olympics again this year after getting hooked a few Olympics ago. Call me crazy but the strategy and skill combination required is very intriguing. It also helps to watch in on Tivo and get to the last few rocks of each round. Some good looking women curler’s doesn’t hurt either.

But it was extremely frustrating to watch the US teams this year. They were terrible. I don’t like saying that. They are not high paid professional athletes and in fact the US Olympic commitment to Curling is rather embarrassing as it’s essentially nothing. But still, they were really bad. The announcers kept saying they were playing well and just getting some bad breaks. Maybe that was true but more true was the fact that both Shuster and McCormick consistently missed shots and missed them badly and missed them at very key times. Again, not fair to these teams who dedicate a lot of time, their own time, to represent our country in the Olympics. Hats off to our teams for being there and putting in the time.

But the USA has to do better, we need to commit to having a team that doesn’t embarrass itself on the ice.

I’m not suggesting that Big Ten basketball go away all together – just that it’s no longer on TV. It is simply hard to watch this brand of basketball.

It’s a problem in both college football and the NFL! They can’t replay right! For replay to work you have to get the calls right when you use replay!!!!!

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again – I like the theory of replay the execution is a complete joke. They blow calls horribly on the field then replay for some technicality or another can’t even be used then when it can be used they still find a way to blow the call.

Just a few quick thoughts about week 2 of the college football season. The BIG game was USC at Ohio State and once again Jim Tressel gets out coached and Terrell Pryor shows he’s overrated.

Penn State is quietly rolling over early season opponents – again.

Auburn’s D might be back!

The total on the South Carolina/Georgia game was 38 – BOTH teams went over by themselves!

Not so fast (again) for Tennessee. Not so fast for Missouri.

Yes, BYU is really good.

Michigan over Notre Dame is a HUGE win for the Wolverines! Let down next week?

Oklahoma State – can you say HUGE disappointment? That’s what a let down looks like….

Boise State – just keep rolling! And Tulsa and is Nebraska back?

Biggest thought on Saturday night as the very late games are underway…..NFL Sunday is just hours away!

Sorry for the recent lack of content but we’ve been deep in prep for the upcoming college and NFL football seasons! Not to mention a new system on a newly designed website!!!

But it’s been worth the wait!! COLLEGE FOOTBALL PICKS ARE NOW POSTED!

Good Luck!
